Walk & Talk Volunteers (Angus & Dundee)

Our Walk and Talk groups in Angus and Dundee help bereaved adults connect with others who understand their experience, while enjoying gentle outdoor exercise.
We’re looking for friendly, compassionate volunteers to support our Walk Leaders and help create a safe, welcoming space. No experience is needed, just a basic level of fitness and a caring approach. Each friendly group walk lasts between 1 and 1.5 hours and is paced to suit the abilities of those taking part. Training is provided.
If you want to make a real difference by helping people feel less isolated and more supported, we’d love to hear from you.
